Excerpt from History of the Organization of the United Spanish War Veterans

October 22, 1898, "The White Escort" of Cleveland, Ohio, obtained a State Charter under the laws of Ohio. In 1 900, by request of Cramer Camp Spanish War Veterans, Cleveland, Ohio, "The White Escort" became an Auxiliary to Cramer Camp. Major C. F. Cramer, after being elected Department Commander of Ohio in 1900, asked the Auxiliary at Cleveland to organize throughout Ohio, Auxiliaries to all camps of the Spanish War Veterans, and to that end a charter was applied for and granted under the laws of Ohio, of which Isabelle Alexander was sponsor and was so notified by the Department of Ohio, S. W. V., September, 1900. This Ohio charter was retained until June 1, 1904.

During the year 1901 there was organized a number of Auxiliaries in Ohio, and there sprang up another order in Washington, D.C. Mr, L. C. Dyer, then Adjutant General of the National Spanish War Veterans, asked Mrs. John A. Logan the use of her name to help in the formation of the same. This she granted him.
